Please forgive me for asking you for clarification. You state that there is a holding tank @60 to 70C from which the water is drawn. Is this tank open to the atmosphere or is the system closed?
Also, do you know where the flow meter is located relative to this tank? Is it lower than the tank and located ahead of the pump? Do you have a reference drawing that shows the system layout?

Your theory that the flow meter was reading significantly high has been shot down. As the flow rate was controlled downstream of the meter, one would expect it not to vary much. Exhibit 5 has errors as pointed out earlier. If the customer had a strongly endothermic process you would not get 1 MW released into the building I don't know who is telling the truth, but is not yet proven that IH is. The theory (not yours) earlier about vapor in the line effecting the flow meter neglects that the return from the customer is into a holding tank @ 60 - 70C. Water drawn from that would not have free vapor.

Is that not giving him the benefit of the doubt? Can anyone be 100% confident that he is completely lying? Yes, I am 100% confident he is lying. Take Exhibit 5. If Rossi or Penon had legitimate answers to the issues raised in that document, they would have answered them. They had a contractual obligation to answer, and it would have been in their interests to do so. They did not respond at all. That tells me they have no answers and the damning assertions made in that document are correct. I have other proof of that. Independent observers told me these assertions are correct. I am also certain there was not 1 MW of waste heat coming out of the customer site. I have seen Penon's data, and I confirm it has 36,000 kg in every day, for weeks. As I explained here, that is impossible. If you reset the counter to zero every day it might go past 36,000 every day, for example, to 36,410, 36,228, etc., and with this meter that would show up as 36,000 every day. Except when daylight savings changes. But that is not what happened. 32,000 may be a reasonable approximation of what the meter showed, but it is definitely made-up data that was stuffed into the tables. - Jed
